Centro de acogida para jubilados en Machala.

Abstract

The present work contains the development of an architectural proposal for the shelter for retirees, located in the city of Machala, neighborhood La Providencia. The project is established as a solution to the needs and requirements of retirees in the city of Machala, generating a space that allows them to carry out all their activities. Retirees, being mostly elderly people, and who have finished their working period, have a lot of free time, which should be used in the best possible way. The main objective of the shelter is to provide retired persons with various spaces in which they can develop their activities, whether physical, mental, psychological, among others, which are indispensable for older adults. Formulated from the diagnosis and analysis of the conditions of the site and the current situation of the city, strategies and criteria were established that are reflected in a set of spaces defined under the concept of flexibility.
